Bad command or corrupt

(1/1)

Liz Bridges:
When we boot up my husband pc it goes thru the usual things then a screen comes up and it says :

Error in config. sys file online 15 then it will say:
file is missing or corrupted C:\realmode\aspic8u2.sys
line 16
or realmode\aspi2dos.sys
I have read about all the command etc and can't get the pc to boot up at all..Please help me to get this matter fixed or how to do it...thank you.. ???

MalikTous:
When you boot the machine (I'm assuming Win9x), press F8 to get the boot menu, and select Safe mode.

Open CONFIG.SYS in Notepad. Put the characters REM in front of any line referencing c:\realmode\aspic8u2.sys and c:\realmode\aspi2dos.sys to disable those lines. Save and close, then try to reboot into normal Windows.

johnwill:
I think there's something more basic than a couple of errant statements here.  Errors like that are ignored during boot, so other than the error message, they're already being ignored.  Since he's not booting, I suspect REMing them out isn't the answer...

2k dummy:
Those are realmode cd-rom drivers. They should not be needed to boot into windows from the HD. They are from Adaptec, probably to support a SCSI cd-rom in DOS.
